At that moment, Su Chen was basking in the envious gazes of the surrounding subordinates, thoroughly enjoying the attention.
[Learn this, you trash. This is what a professional lackey looks like!]
[Two sentences, and I got a man to spend 200,000 for me!]
[Even top marketing influencers would come to me as their master, you know?]
“Pfft.”
Qin Yuwei, that Absolute Goddess, couldn’t hold back her laughter. Suppressing it was honestly painful.
But no one noticed anything strange—everyone was just watching Su Chen in awe, trying to absorb the essence of being a true lackey.
Just then, Su Chen was suddenly startled by the system’s voice.
[Detected host is being admired by surrounding subordinates. Reward: Newbie Gift Pack.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host has acquired: Vajra Indestructible Body, Level 12 Perfection.]
“Holy crap!”
Su Chen was stunned by the luxurious reward. He pinched his own flesh—didn’t hurt at all!
In other words, he was practically invincible in terms of defense, although it didn’t enhance his offense.
Since he was terrified of pain, the system had dumped all points into defense.
Damn, he was basically untouchable now.
[Congratulations, host received: Constitution +5]
[Description: Affects physical fitness and vitality. The higher the constitution, the lower the chance of illness and the stronger the body.]
[Congratulations, host received: Appearance and Charisma +5]
[Description: Does not change the host’s basic facial structure, but to others, your charisma and attractiveness will appear higher.]
The system hit him with a generous triple reward, leaving Su Chen stunned.
This system was seriously considerate!
Now he couldn’t help but wonder what rewards he’d get for suppressing the protagonist Ye Xuan in the future. He was already looking forward to tomorrow.
“Eh? Why do I feel like this guy suddenly got a lot more handsome?”
Qin Yuwei, who had been watching Su Chen the whole time, was momentarily dazed. A flicker of surprise passed through her enchanting eyes.
Was it just my imagination?
[What the hell is the female lead staring at me for?]
[Qin Yuwei, aren’t you supposed to be Ye Xuan’s simp? Shouldn’t you be fawning over him tomorrow? Why are you looking at a little lackey like me?]
[But I gotta admit, her long, pale, shapely legs are a feast for the eyes. If she were wearing black stockings… damn, I can’t even imagine it.]
While peeking at those legs, Su Chen turned his head with a virtuous air. His inner thoughts, however, left Qin Yuwei confused.
Ye Xuan?
Who the hell is Ye Xuan?
Why would I simp for him?
Qin Yuwei was baffled. And this guy kept referring to “protagonist” and “female lead”—was this some kind of TV drama or novel world?
As the second female lead, Qin Yuwei wasn’t dumb. She quickly made some connections.
But she’d probably have to wait until tomorrow to solve this mystery.
…
The next day.
At the foot of Fire Furnace Mountain lay Antique Street.
The main gate featured the Temple of Culture and Martial Virtue, ancient and solemn, honoring a god of literature and a god of war.
Its history stretched back decades, a historical street that captured the centuries-long essence of Hong Kong Island.
The street was lined with numerous shops.
Antique Street’s items were a wild mix: antique ceramics, jade, jewelry, metal relics, bamboo, wood, ivory, scholarly tools, embroidered bronze ware, hanging brocade bracelets… basically a massive antique market with everything imaginable.
The eldest Young Master of the Bai family, Bai Zihang, showed up with a group of subordinates.
That domineering, over-the-top rich kid aura drew plenty of attention.
One look and you could tell—definitely some rich second-generation brat.
In Su Chen’s eyes, this was the classic template for a brainless rich heir. Wherever he went, he dragged a bunch of lackeys around and waited to get slapped in the face by the protagonist.
[If the plot goes as expected, the first scene will be Bai Zihang spotting a raw jade stone at shop No. 705.]
[But for some reason, he won’t buy it. Then Ye Xuan happens to walk by, snatches it up, and cracks open a legendary imperial jade—shocking everyone and humiliating the villain Bai Zihang.]
[Qin Yuwei, as his fiancée, will also start to admire Ye Xuan because of this.]
Su Chen repeated the plot in his mind. Overall, it was a textbook scene: Ye Xuan scores a treasure and slaps Bai Zihang in the face.
This scene had readers screaming with satisfaction.
Not only did Ye Xuan find treasure, but he also earned the favor of the villain’s fiancée—classic cuckold material, but oh-so-satisfying.
At that moment, Qin Yuwei also made her appearance on Antique Street, flaunting her bare shoulders, collarbones, and those dazzling long, white legs.
And as she stepped out of her Maserati Ghibli… she… she…!!
She was actually wearing black stockings…!!
Su Chen nearly had a nosebleed.
Seriously!
Just yesterday, his inner thoughts had joked about her soft, fair, flawless legs being wasted if not paired with black stockings.
And now she wore them?! What kind of coincidence was this?
In the original plot, Qin Yuwei didn’t wear black stockings even once!
“You’re late,” Bai Zihang said casually, not showing any special reaction.
After all, he was Lin Xue’er’s exclusive simp. Outside of scenes where he got slapped in the face, he had no interest in other women.
Not even his fiancée.
Qin Yuwei ignored him and confidently swayed her slender waist as she walked up to Su Chen and asked, “Well? Do I look good?”
[Good! Of course you look good!]
“(ΩДΩ)”
Su Chen was dumbfounded. He had no idea what she was trying to do.
He quickly realized something was wrong!
Shouldn’t she be sucking up to Bai Zihang or Ye Xuan?
Why was she asking him, a little lackey?
And this woman had no awareness at all—she didn’t even realize how deadly those black stockings were!
“Ahem, of course you look very good, sister-in-law. You and our boss Bai Zihang make a perfect pair.”
Su Chen gave a couple of awkward coughs as he replied.
Noticing Bai Zihang had no reaction, he quickly corrected himself.
“Though, perhaps Lin Xue’er is even more of a perfect match for our boss.”
The moment he said that, Bai Zihang lit up like a dog spotting poop—his eyes sparkled and his lips curled into a grin. “Really?”
Then, without hesitation, he signaled to the Secretary Miss.
[Ding! Your account at Shang Bank has received 100,000 yuan.]
Su Chen’s phone happily received another bank notification!
All the subordinates around looked at him with envy again.
[Hehe, you guys learning yet?]
[This is the core of being a lackey! Now you get it, right?]
Su Chen smiled slightly, “Thanks, boss!”
And internally, he thought:
[But honestly, Lin Xue’er and Qin Yuwei are probably on the same level of beauty.]
[Though I haven’t seen Lin Xue’er yet, she’s the female lead—no way she’s average-looking.]
[They’re both top-tier beauties. Too bad they’re both brain-dead.]
That thought instantly caught Qin Yuwei’s attention.
Her brow twitched, and she gave him a slightly annoyed look.
